Textured Beads Stencilled Background with Spray Ombre

Prepare a stencil and apply beaded texture paste through it onto white cardstock using a palette knife or spreader.

Allow the texture paste to dry completely before proceeding (this was done ahead of time in the demo).

Lightly mist the textured card with water using a spray bottle to dampen the surface.

Spray navy Izink spray at the top of the card, working from dark to light down the page.

Spray water again to help the ink flow and create an ombre effect, allowing it to blend naturally.

Add teal Izink spray to the top and sides of the card for additional colour variation.

Spray more water to blend and soften the colour transitions across the card.

Allow the card to dry completely, then tap off any excess water and clean up any puddles of ink.

Mount the textured background onto black cardstock to stabilise it and prevent cockling from the water.

Trim the mounted background to your desired size with a small border of black card showing.
